Preparing your handheld

There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your handheld for a modem
HotSync operation.
Identifies the type of modem connected to your Macintosh. If
your modem does not appear on the list, use the Hayes Basic
setting, or choose Custom to enter a command string. Refer to
the manual that came with your modem to find the appropriate
command string.
Identifies the port that Palm Desktop software uses to
communicate with the modem. Select the modem or printer
port where you connected the modem cable.
Activates the modem's speaker. If you are having trouble
connecting, turn on this option to make sure the modem
connected to your Macintosh is responding to incoming calls.
